Spring Fly Fishing for Trout – Almost the Five Fish Limit - Two Trout at Once – Innis Fly Fishery

Back at the Innis Fly Fishery Cornwall for some spring stillwater fly fishing for Trout. Shown in the video below, it was a great day with plenty of action and a first for me hooking two Trout at once.  

Hooking two Trout at once is one thing but landing them is another.  Fish were caught experimenting with different flies such as lure flies, nymphs, and buzzers. In addition to the fishing, I had a chat with the owner  of Innis Fly Fishery Dave Johns.  Once again it was a very enjoyable day with some fish to take home to the fish smoker.



Pro Style Crab/Lobster Pots for Shore and Kayak Crab/Lobster Fishing – How to Setup and Use

Recreational shore and kayak Crab and Lobster fishing using pots is great fun and an enjoyable change from fishing for fish.   

In the video below, I look at the pro style very good quality pots I use that can be managed from a kayak or managed from the shore.  I talk about how the pots work and how they are deployed both from the shore and the kayak.  These pots will catch Spider Crab (Cornish King Crab), Brown Crab (Edible Crab), and Lobsters.

Catch, Dispatch, and Cook Cornish King Crab - AKA Spider Crab - Shore Crab Fishing

Shore crab fishing in the video below putting out a Crab/Lobster pot for the first time this year with the most likely catch being Spider Crab now rebranded in Cornwall as Cornish King Crab in the hope the name will help to make the tasty crab more appealing to would e diners than the name Spider Crab.  Hopefully, it will help to sell the crab to the domestic UK market for the benefit of the local fisherman.


The video shows the catching of the crabs and the dispatching.  Back home I cook the crabs and prepare by removing the claws and extracting the meat from the body and in addition, for the first time experiment by smoking a couple of the crab claws, which was interesting.
